Are all 3rd gen fbodys the same windows?

Ever since I've owned my iroc (17 years), I have had to roll the passengers side window down a little to close the door otherwise it catches on the t top rubber lip. Could it be the window is from a firebird or something else, that would sort of fit but not be the same?

They're all the same. I don't have this problem on my Trans Am, and the driver window and door are from an '89, the T-Tops are from other years.

You need to adjust the window. There are adjustments to the angle the window sits in the door and the maximum height the window will go up. If you play with those a bit you should be able to fix that.

My T/A does the same thing, but it's because the t-top drip edge is pulling out of the t-top itself...not an uncommon failing.

Ditto. Adjustments. I had a window issue on my 92 t-top for 10 years but fixed it a week before I sold it to make it easier to sell. Just take some time and try to make some adjustments.
